A Bad Break.

WASHINGTON. Septem Der 17.-Another
water famine is upon the greater por-
ton of this city, caused by the third
break within short time, OF the 36+inch
water main which supplies all of the
CITY north of l. Street. The break is
the most serious which has yet oc-
Cured, and it is feared that the north
ern part of the city will be without
water for some days to come. The
break occurred about O'Clock this
morning, without moments warning
Suddenly, ana with loud report. the
water spouted in an arc. Resi-
dents in the neighborhood were startled
by the noise, and in few minutes the
vicinity of the accident was alive with
an excited and alarmed people. On the
side of L Street, between Twentieth and
Twenty-frst, column of water broke
from the pavement with a roar that
could be heard squares away. i Street
from Nineteenth to Twenty-first was
one great river, water pouring along
like torrent and deep enough to float
boats. The property managed is con-
siderable, but this is as nothing COM
pared to the inconvenience to thous-
anos of citizens, and the certain dis
aster in case of fire. The public wells
were exhausted at an early hour and
crowds of people with buckets in hand,
were walking from place TO place trying
to obtain enough to prepare the morn
ing meal.

The Seizures of the sealers

VICTORIA, B. c., September 17-Cap-
tain Warren, of the sealing schooner
Gunner. has arrived from Sitks on the
steamer Alcon, which reached Nanaimo
yesterday, ard came on to Victoria by
the Island Railway. The captain stated
that since arriving in Sitka, on the 3lst
of July last, he had been living On The
steam schooner Dolphin, together with
his mate, ] ohm Reilly. During their de-
tention they were we'll used in every
respect. After the arrival of the AncOn
from the south, Governor Swine
ford came into Marshal Atkin 8 Office,
while Captain Warren was there, and
stated that papers had been received
from Washington ordering the release
of the masters, mates and all crews OF
the seized schooner, British and Amer
leans. There were altogether eleven
schooners in Alaska, the British sealers
Dolphin, AnnG Beck, Grace, W. p.
Hayward. and Ada, the latter having
been seized on the 9th of August and
arrived in Sitka the day before the an
con arrived from the south. She had
1876 skins on board at the time. The
American sealers are Lille il,
Annie, alpha, Kate and Annie,
Challenge. and the allie J. Alger,
the latter having arrived on Friday OF
last week. She had on board 1000
skins, and the Ellen had not yet
reached Sitka. The Ellen Blum was in
correctly reported seized. News of
their release was not taken in good
grace by some of the seized
captains, who would have pre-
ferred to have been given a
fair trial in court, instead of
being dismissed without a word of
explanation. after six weeks detention.
By the cutter Rush there arrived a
sailor in Sitka who is the only survivor
of the whaling schooner Napoleon,
which was wrecked in the Arctic two
years ago. He tells a terrible tale of
suffering. The vessel got crushed in
the ice, and the crew had to
take to boats, and the man who
arrived in Sitka, was one of eighteen
who was on the ice for thirty days.
During this time his seventeen compan-
ions died from starvation and exposure.
He was picked up by the Esquimaux
and lived among them until the trip of
the Bear into the Arctic, when he was
found among his protectors The Cut
ter brought him down and connected
with the Rush in Behring's, and the lat.
ter brought him to Sitka.

CONSULTATION AND EX-

At The France Medical Institute, 80
West Gay Street, Columbus, o.

Disease has certain unmistak-
able signs or symptoms, and by
reason of this fact we have been
enabled to originate and perfect a
system of determining with the
greatest accuracy the nature of
chronic diseases, by personal ex-
animation of the patient. We
claim to possess no miraculous
powers. We obtain our knowledge
of the patients disease by the
practical application of well-establ-
ished principles of modern science
to the practice of medicine. And
it is to the accuracy with which
this system has, endowed us, that
we owe our almost worldwide re-
putation for the skillful treatment
of all lingering or chronic affec-
tions. This system of practice,
with the marvellous success which
has been attained through it, de-
monstrates the fact that diseases
display certain phenomena, which
being subjected to scientific an
alysis, furnished abundant and un-
mistakable data to guide the
judgement of the skillf,ll practi-
toner Alright in determining the
nature of diseased conditions. So
successful has been this method of
treating patients that there is
scarcely city or village in the
United States that is notrepresent-
ed by one dr more cases upon the
records of practice at the France
Medical Institute.

WHILE some Republican jour
nails are striving to deceive their
readers in respect to the motives of
the Presidents policy toward the
Indians the honest Boston Trans
script tells the truth in the follow
ing frank and refreshing fashion
President CleveIand's earnest
ness in solving the indian problem
in the right way is again attested
i'm his conferences with the Boston
committee, whose end is Indian cit
izenship. He recently summoned
some leading spirits of this Boston
organization, which is composed of
influential men of all shades of pol
itics, to Washington by telegraph
and gave them virtual control over
the selection of the agents to be
sent out to see that the Indians are
not tricked in the allotment of
lands under the DAVIS act. Secre
tary Lamar is not less sincere and
sOlicitous to see the law justly eX-
ecuted in the Indians favor.
There Is no liar in the world who

the leading "milk cans" which are
used by parties operating Cream
cries, and which are left
with those who sell cream
to the creamery. Both cans were
constructed of of tin, and
have a glass window in the side
through which the milk in the can
is plainly visible and in connection
with this window is graduated
measure for the purpose of indica-
ting the amount of cream which is
contained in the can. Each can
has n capacity of about three gal
Ions and when filed with milk
will show from one TO three and
one-half iches of cream, according
to the richness of the milk.

Will II Gall Ont the TrOOps2

Backing up John Sherman's del
egate-hunting resurrection of the
old stump cty about the "force and
fraud" by which it is quadrcnnially
alleged that the Southern States
are kept Democratic, the Tribune
replies to its own question. "What
are you going to do about it?" by
saying:
The Tribune will not mince
words in speaking of this organized
resistance to the laws of the United
States. 1t holds the men who do
these things disloyal now as they
were in 1861. They are rebels
against the Government now, as
they were whipped rebels when
Lee surrendered.
This is truly alarming. We had
supposed, from reading the Repub-
lican papers and platforms, that
that "organized resistance to the
laws" was put down and the "reb-
els" routed, reconstructed and re-
stored to the Union during the four
years of war and the twenty years
of subsequent administration by
that party. But if we mistook, and
if disloyalty is still organized and
rebellion rampant, the Republicans
made the monumental failure of
the age in their attempt, and it
would of course be the sheerest
folly to call them back to the pow
er which they welded with such
impotence and failure for nearly a
quarter of a century.
We sincerely trust that the Tri6-
ame will not take advantage of the
Presidents absence in the wilder
ness to "call out the troops" and
inaugurate another "On to Rich
mond" campaign. Will it not kind
ly grant an armistice long enough
to admit of joint discussion of the
question whether Southern man
can prove his "loyalty" in any way
besides swearing eternal and un-
questioned allegiance to the Re-
publican party IN. Y. World.

THE Wynandot gas we'll. at Lar

THE Wynandot gas well, at Lam
caster, was shot on Monday after
noon last with sixty quarts of Nitre
glycerine. Concerning the results
the Lancaster Gazette of Wednes-
day has this to say.
Estimates of the increase of flow
were as high as ten-fold the original
flow, or about Il million cubic feet
per day. Other estimates were low
er, but there is no denying, or doubt
of, the we'll being good one, with
vastly increased, steady product,
since the shooting. The most skep-
teal pessimists and croakers of the
the community will admit this.
LATER.-The well is reported to
have caved in and cut off the gas.

The Late William A. Wheeler,

The death of Mr.. Wheeler, is else
where announced. Time was when
comment on him would have been
much more severe-and unjust
than it will be now in the respecta-
bic papers opposed to him in poll
tics. He served as Vice President
during the term for which a major
ity of the people then believed
Thomas A. Hendricks was the
choice of the Republic. We pre-
sumo that hardly any one in either
party at present believes other
wise. But as years lessen the
sense of asperity, reason comes in
to the work of making allowances
for the action of men in past emer-
gencies.
1t can be conceded that those
who stretched law and constitu-
ton to affect wrongful result
were more to blame than the ones
on whom the award fell. They
could easily convince themselves
that the award was just, for the
record of the other side to maintain
or regain the rights it lost was not
without blame or stain. The party
that deprived Tilden and Hen
bricks of their seats is not proud of
its work. The party that de-
nounced the act failed to carry the
case again to the test of suffrage.
Republicanism regrets it's action,
Democracy is not proud of its inac-
ton touching the dispute of the
Centennial year. The past is past
and the dead are dead.
Mr.. Wheeler was Il statesman Of
conventional views, citizen of
pure life, a Congressman of indus
try. AS State and Federal SER
want he had the regard of one great
party and the respect of the other.
AS Vice President his course was
free from bias, scandal or impulse.
His later years were shadowed by
poignant sorrows. The grave
claimed those he most loved. Pain
made his frame its theater. Atilic-
tions and disease closed the aven-
ues of his intelligence. Death was
release from a life that had become
not worth the living.
